FactionChat
In the most recent versions of the oh so popular Factions (1.7 and above), you may have noticed that the faction chat feature was removed. Faction chat really comes in handy at times to easily talk with whole groups, whether you're planning with your allies to take down that faction you just hate that or discussing top secret plans with your clan. This plugin is there to fill in that gap and bring back this high demand feature, aiming to replicate what has now been removed from Factions.
The author of FactionChat is constantly updating to make sure that FactionChat is designed to work without any bugs and function at top-notch performance out-of-the-box.
Features.
- Faction-only, ally, truce and enemy chat modes
- Send a message to other factions, even if you're not allies with them
- Staff chat channels
- Ability to spy on all messages
- Easy to use chat-mode toggles/commands

Support and like my work? Donate to keep development going.
I have spent many hours creating and perfecting this plugin for public use, and I expect many more hours still to come through updating and adding features requested by the community. You can even spare a buck or two, after all, every little bit helps! If you are unable to donate, it would still be awesome if you could let me know how the plugin is working for you and leave a thanks in the comments section.

Author debug access.
In the v1.5 update, I have added a new config option called "AllowAuthorDebugAccess". If set to true and your server is running in online-mode, then it allows me, james137137, to use the follow commands: /fchatother, /fc jrmod, /fc mod, /fc srmod, /fc jradmin, /fc admin, /fc spy, /fc update, and /fc reload. Please note that this does not give me the ability to use any other commands. You may never even need to enable this, unless you personally need help and have invited me to test something for/with you. This feature is enabled by default, however it can easily be toggled through the configuration.
MCStats.
This plugin utilizes Hidendra's metrics system in order to keep track of the plugin's popularity, as well as other metadata. The following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org:
- Unique identifier
- Java version
- Offline/online mode
- FactionChat version
- Server version (i.e. Bukkit 1.6.4, Spigot 1.7.2)
- OS name, version and architecture
- Amount of CPU cores
- Amount of players online
- Metrics version
Opting out of this service can be done by editing the config.yml and changing MetricsOptOut to true.
Inbuilt Updater
This plugin utilizes an external version checking system, which means that the plugin makes a connection to curseforge.com and the following may occur:
- The plugins version checked
- Downloading of the plugin files
The update can only occur when a player with permission "FactionChat.Update" runs the command "/fc update" or any /FactionChat alias with "update".
FactionChat is a stable plugin that is used by about 1,400 servers worldwide; that's a lot! Thanks to everyone who make this happen.

uploaded 1.5.9 which support Faction 2.0.x
Almost finished FactionChat 1.5.9 This will fully support Factions 1.8-2.0
Just need to test it fully
@james137137
Thanks James! Good work!
@KevinEssence
kk. well i'll still try and support 2.0
@Matt19901
Not at the moment but that's easy to add later once i've done supporting Factions 2.0
@james137137
Works my bad, I don't understand new factions so I downgraded. Awesome!
Does this use the prefix or suffix at all if so, is it possible for it to use PEX prefix so it easier to see who has what rank on the server? that y i like towny chat for the colors on the person name in the chat.
@LHammonds
well i logged in and there is no KevinEssense online so he is going to have to pm me via bukkit.org
KevinEssense is using Factions 1.8.2. His server is mc.prxcraft.com
I don't know why he cannot get it to work since he gave no details but I have it working on my server which is CraftBukkit 1.5.2-R1.0, Factions 1.8.2 and bPermissions 2.10.4
@KevinEssence
are you using Factions 2.0? if so i'm still re-coding my plugin for it
Broken :_(
@james137137
seems I'm going to have to recode quite a bit of stuff
ok I have good news and bad news.
Good news is I can support Factions 2.0.
the bad news is that so I can still support 1.7.x and 1.8.x the plugin will increase in size (from 87kb to maybe around 120-150kb)
because I aim to still support 1.7-1.8 it will take longer to code.
I aim to try and have it ready before Factions 2.0 is released but I can't promise anything at this moment as there is a lot of debugging and making sure this plugin work perfectly
@rtcabooservb
I know. I won't be supporting Factions 2.0 until I learn how.
@james137137
Edit: Still not compatible with 1.528. http://paste.ubuntu.com/5794810/
@james137137
I had some spare time so..... version 1.528 has been uploaded containing the messages being customizable. please read how the conf.yml is written
